LGBT Youth Scotland is seeking island responses to their national survey to help improve understanding around the lives and needs of LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland.

The survey has been done every five years since 2007 and the organisation has used the findings to shape their understanding of LGBTQ+ young people’s needs and opinions and “to work towards a fairer and more equal future for all of our communities”.

The survey is open until next Monday (5 October).

Dr Mathew Wilkie, Research and Policy Coordinator for LGBT Youth Scotland, said: “We are really aware that those in rural areas are often less heard and want to make sure that all young people in Scotland who would like to share their experiences are able to.”

The project is being run by young people and asks for the views and experiences of LGBTG+ people aged 13 to 25.

Areas of questioning relate to community, health, safety, representation, education and the media.
